This is my design and based
on a woman I knew from the age of 3 years old. She was a wee bit
of a woman who helped care for my ailing grandmother. Auntie
Peanut loved our family as much as we loved her and she used to say that
my hair was so curly that I looked just like Shirley Temple.
The mat measures 12 1/2"
x 12 1/2" and is hooked using #8 wool strips. Her kerchief
bow is a piece of wool which I stitched into place to look
three-dimensional and her hair is natural wool roving to give that
dimensional look again. A sleeve has been sewn in the back so it
is ready to use as a wall hanging. $105 plus shipping.

Debbie's Horse measures
17" x 29 1/4" and is a design by Woolley Fox. I hooked the rug
using #8 and #8.5 wool strips. The earthy colors gives it an old
look and the lighter color at the bottom grounds the piece.
It would look lovely above a
fireplace, on a harvest table, at a cabin or a gift for that horse lover
you know.
$325 plus shipping.

JACK-in-the-BOX
The Jack-in-the-Box is ready to be used as a
wall hanging or could be displayed on a dresser of a child's room.
This would make a wonderful gift for an expectant parent or even your
own child's room. It measures 12" x 18 1/2", has been hooked using
both hand dyed wool and as is textured wool. At the tip of the cap
there is a gold bell and in it's hands is a woolen piece of wool with
the word 'Smile' stitched using embroidery floss.
I could customize the piece by embroidering
the child's name and replace the one that is presently shown. Or,
if you want no sign you can easily remove the 'Smile' wording
with just a couple snips of thread holding it in place and this is what
you will have.
Yours for $105 plus
shipping.

nicely and makes a mottled look. The remainder of the wool used is all hand dyed by me.
This is a Kindred Spirits
design that would look great in any decor ~ antiques, shabby chic,
cottage, or traditional. It is $135 + shipping.
